The call with Calvin ended just as Daniel pulled the sedan off the main road and approached the iron gates of the estate.

Four private security guards in black tactical uniforms stood at the primary guardhouse, while two patrol cars sat near the perimeter fence. Daniel slowed to a stop, passed the security check, and drove up the long, winding driveway before coming to a smooth halt in front of the main house.

Sera pushed her door open before Daniel could reach the handle. She walked briskly in

  • She Was Never The One: The CEO's Regret   Set To Travel

    The evening news of the sighting had forced them to wait through a restless night. With Ethan staying his final weekend at the mansion and Aria safely tucked into her routine, Adrian and Sera had agreed to let the night pass before pursuing the lead.By mid-morning, after clearing a wave of urgent filings at Fina Corp, Sera’s sedan pulled up to the municipal precinct downtown. She walked briskly through the heavy glass doors, her heels clicking against the linoleum as she navigated the corridors until she reached Detective Henry’s private office, where Adrian was already waiting."You got here fast," Adrian said, standing up from a metal chair as she entered."I didn't exactly sleep, Adrian," Sera replied, her voice taut with lingering adrenaline. She turned her attention to the detective's desk, where a series of black-and-white photographs had been fanned out across the surface.Detective Henry adjusted his glasses, leaning over the papers. "Right here. These were pulled from a muni

  • She Was Never The One: The CEO's Regret   A Glimpse Of Celine

    The morning sun filtered through the tall, double-paned windows of the Cole estate, casting warm squares of light across the hardwood floor. Downstairs, the low murmur of children playing could be heard drifting from the conservatory.Adrian stood by the kitchen island, a tablet in hand as he reviewed his calendar for the weekend. With Ethan still staying over for his second day, the logistics of keeping two high-energy children entertained required a deliberate strategy. He pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a familiar number.It rang twice before Sera picked up."Good morning," Sera's voice came through the speaker, crisp and carrying a hint of morning fatigue, yet softened by a quiet curiosity. "If you're calling to tell me Ethan tried to feed his vegetables to the family dog, I already expected it."Adrian offered a low, genuine chuckle. "Nothing of the sort. He's actually been on his best behavior. But I was thinking about taking both him and Aria out to the private play

    The morning sunlight filtered gently through the windows of Sera's private office at Fina Corp, casting a warm glow across her desk."I'm telling you, Sera, catering logistics in Mayfair are a bloodsport," Zoe laughed lightly. "If I have to taste one more miniature pastry flavour, I'm going to elope."Sera smiled, leaning back in her leather chair as she shuffled a stack of papers aside. "You chose the venue, darling. You have to live with the consequences. But speaking of dates, have you actually locked one in yet? Or are you planning to keep Calvin standing at the altar indefinitely?""Very funny," Zoe scoffed affectionately. "Actually, that's why I'm calling. We've set the official date for next month. And before you ask, yes, your flights are already booked. But more importantly, I have a very specific demand for my favourite little terror.""Ethan?" Sera raised an eyebrow. "What did he do this time?""Nothing yet, but he's about to take on a massive diplomatic mission," Zoe annou

    Celine was gone. By the time dawn broke, only few trace of her personal belongings in the master wing was seen.Adrian stood by the glass of his private study, a cup of black coffee growing cold in his hand. His phone buzzed against the mahogany desk.He reached over and swiped to answer, bringing the phone to his ear. "Talk to me, Henry."Detective Henry’s voice came through the speaker. "Good afternoon, Mr. Cole. I’m calling with an update, though I'm afraid it's not the breakthrough we were hoping for."Adrian’s jaw tightened. "Have you picked up any trace of her? Any movement on her secondary accounts or transit logs?""We've combed through every municipal camera and transport hub in Manhattan," Henry replied, his tone apologetic. "Nothing. It’s as if she vanished off the face of the earth. Based on the psychological state she was in when she bolted from the hospital, it’s entirely possible she's operating under a severe case of acute stress or temporary psychosis.""So she's out

  • She Was Never The One: The CEO's Regret   Over My Dead Body

    Chapter 57Before Adrian could press further, Celine’s wild gaze swept past him, frantically scanning the perimeter of the waiting room.And then she saw him.Standing quietly near the corner, leaning lightly on his brass-handled cane with unshakeable composure, was Mr. Walton.The color drained instantly from Celine’s face, replaced by a dark, venomous shock that left her staring as if a corpse had risen from the grave. .A slow, heavy silence descended over the corridor, broken only by the soft hum of the overhead vents.Walton tilted his head, his weathered features stretching into a slow, knowing smile. A chuckle escaped him, carrying across the open space. "Well, well, well... look who decided to grace us with her presence."A fresh wave of hysteria seized Celine, stripping away every ounce of her carefully maintained composure. With a sudden surge of adrenaline, she wrenched herself against the security guards' hold and pointed a trembling finger directly at Walton."What is he

  • She Was Never The One: The CEO's Regret   You Have No Right

    The executive suites at Fina Corp maintained an illusion of unyielding stability, but beneath the polished mahogany and pristine glass, the atmosphere was stretched to a breaking point. Sera had retreated into the quiet sanctuary of her private office. She sat behind her large desk, surrounded by stacks of unread reports, her mind heavy with the weight of the intelligence Walton had recently dumped into their laps.A soft, polite double-chime echoed from the doorway, breaking the heavy stillness of the room.Sera didn’t look up immediately, expecting an assistant with more urgent filings or a fresh batch of rerouted logistics schedules. Instead, the heavy oak door drifted open to reveal Damian. He stood on the threshold, looking entirely out of place amid the corporate tension, holding a modest bouquet of fresh white lilies in one hand and a brown paper bag that carried the buttery scent of warm pastries.A quiet wave of guilt instantly stirred within her chest. "I hope I'm not intru
